No more secrets!

In the spirit of friendship (and the hope that you might share some of your tips with me). I thought I would post my favorite time saving tip.
So, here is the thing, several of my family's fav recipes call for browned hamburger and I found that it took an extra 20 min. to get the frozen hamburger out of the freezer, thaw it, and brown it. At my house 20 extra min. is 20 more min. of whining, crying, and kids "dying" of hunger.
So, here is my brilliant tip: now I buy several lbs of hamburger at a time and brown it all when I get home from the store. Then I divide it, put it into ziplocs, and stick them in the freezer. Now when I make a recipe that calls for browned hamburger I just grab a bag out of the freezer, nuke it for 1min and presto! Told you it was brilliant!
Hopefully this tip will help make preparing dinner for your family a little less hectic. It has worked great for us!
